Individual rooms styled after philosophers
The hotel occupies three elegant, late-19th-century houses, and its 38 rooms are each devoted to different philosophers or schools of thought. There's a Nietzsche room, a Zen room, a Marx, an Aristotle and a Wittgenstein, for example, each decorated individually with pertinent paintings, quotations, books, sculptures and murals. There is no escaping the mood even at breakfast, in a room papered with sheet music where placemats are adorned with the words of the wise.
